Every year, we try to arrange something daft for our family Christmas gathering. In the past we have held a photo shoot in some woods whilst wearing Panda onesies, eaten Christmas dinner in plastic horses' heads and sported charity shop garb combined with luxuriant fake moustaches. This year we are changing it up and intend to hold a radio-controlled car race around a circuit we will build in our ChipsAway workshop. There will be six racers, so we need six different cars (2.4ghz?), budget £20ish each plus batteries. Ideally, we want actual model cars, not buggies.
Fly, my forum pretties and find the best RC racers for twenty quid!

One last question... We've bought the cars ( Lambo Aventadors, since you ask... ), Now, what can we use to lay out the track boundaries? The track will be about 30m around, and the barriers will need to be dense enough not to get pushed out of the way, but soft enough not to write off the Lambos on the first turn! We have an abundance of cardboard boxes, so if anyone can think of a cunning way to cut/roll/etc. cardboard, I'm all ears...

Lol, you're talking crystal radios, Jim is buying toy shop stuff. The 2.7 is 'digital'as apposed to analogue.
Have you tried hobbyking website? Most of my rc stuff comes from there.
